Dublin DUB

Garrulous, gritty and endlessly charming, Ireland’s capital combines an impeccable cultural pedigree with oodles of personality. This city was made for walking: take a stroll around the compact centre, past St Patrick’s Cathedral, Trinity College and the statues surrounding the O’Connell Bridge, then slake your thirst with a pint of Guinness in one of Dublin’s justifiably famous pubs. Come night-time, music and laughter begin to spill out of every warmly lit doorway. Join in the craic, or retire to one of the fabulous foodie restaurants, art cinemas or theatres for an evening of entertainment Dublin-style.
